I saw some hatchlings labelled at a garden centre as root beer and I came home and googled them. They are a hybrid.
What I was surprised to learn was that they could go on to breed. I thought the hybrids were infertile? And that is where the cremiscle (sp) corn has come from. |

what morphs/hybrid you get depends on the morph of the corn parent when mated with an emoryii
all hybrids are definitely NOT infertile! |

| I've no idea what led me to believe they were infertile, but since researching the root beers I know different now. |

I had a big Creamcicle Corn boy, i bred with him a few times but every time i bred him with my Okettee i got some strange looking ones, i kept 1 and my stepson had 1 too.
I later found out that my Creamcicle was a hybrid as this was the only way for breeders to get this colour and it was to breed with a Ratsnake, and if the hybrid was bred with you could end up with Rootbeers, Creamcicles, i found that these ones were far better to take to feeding and would eat 2 pinkies within a month and grew very quickly in comparason to there Amel siblings or okette siblings.
You can breed and breed with the hybrid of this type but it will never eradicate the Ratsnake init and if you sell any babies state clearly that there hybrids.
Heres a pic of my Rootbeer, hes the one at the bottom of the pic with brown saddles and a tellowey tinge

whilst it is a hybrid, its also worth noting and remembering that cornsnakes are also ratsnakes, just a different sub specie.
You could breed a cornsnake with a ratsnake and get cornsnakes, breed with a great plains and get rootbeers etc.
When talking about hybrids you need to be very specific about which two species you are talking about, there are more than 2500 different species of colubrid, all technically could be hybridised. |

| Apparently Gino is a rootbeer if you look on my post ( http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18716 ) I have pictures of him :)but someone who has bred corns from the original bloodline is saying he's a caramel and a girl so I'm not sure if he is a rootbeer or not oh well :) |
